It seems that Clerk Meyers and Leidesdorff's Russian/Alaskan lover both disappear mysteriously, the day after his untimely death.

The S.F. Leidesdorff home and Sacramento Leidesdorff Ranch was "seized" as new probate laws were created in California.

The trail points to Sitka, Alaska and Russian settlement records that are being shared by Russian authorities.

Enjoy the search for primary source documentation they are available to the patient scholar.
